Everything we know about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is coming - its official unveiling will take place on May 19 (at 1:30 am, if you're a night owl). There's been a ton of speculation surrounding this new Toyota truck because it's FINALLY getting a redesign. Toyota hasn't unleashed all the details just yet, but we have gotten our hands on a few. Here's everything we know so far about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma! What's been released about the 2024 Toyota Tacoma so far It's getting a full redesign. And it's well-deserved - the last time the Orlando Toyota Tacoma was redesigned was way back in 2015. The fourth generation makes its big debut on May 19 and should be in a dealership near you later this year or early next year. We don't have an official release date yet. Looking at the teaser photos Toyota has provided, it seems like the 2024 Toyota Tacoma will take stylistic cues from the Toyota Tundra and Toyota Sequoia. Both of these new trucks were redesigned for a more angular and modern look on the exterior, and we think the new Tacoma will follow suit. It's going to have an i-Force Max option. This popular hybrid system is found in both the new Toyota Tundra and Sequoia, and offers increased horsepower and performance while improving fuel efficiency at the same time. We're also thinking a new engine is in the works for the gas models - the Tundra and Sequoia both got turbocharged engines with their redesign, and we think the new Tacoma will follow suit. There are going to be multiple cab + bed options. Toyota released a series of silhouette teaser photos indicating that there will likely be both crew and extended cabs, as well as a long bed option for this Orlando Toyota. It's getting a new body-on-frame platform - the TNGA-F platform that's newly designed by Toyota. This means better off-road performance and handling, as well as more capable towing and a cheaper manufacturing process (which rolls into a lower price for consumers). You'll have a six-speed manual transmission option still, so you can stop worrying about it. (A lot of Taco enthusiasts were terrified that a new generation would include Toyota dropping the manual option). Toyota released teaser photos of the gas, brake, and clutch pedals a few weeks ago. A new Trailhunter special edition model is getting added to the lineup. We're expecting it to be perfect for off-roading and overlapping. From the teaser shots, it looks like there are ARB add-ons and tow hooks... and that's just what we see in a quarter shot. It looks like the audio system will get a major upgrade. We're expecting a bigger touchscreen (the current one is 8") and the new wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and Toyota Connected Services to be woven into the mix. Additionally, a JBL option is likely to be up for grabs - Toyota put out a teaser that the new 2024 Toyota Tacoma will have the option of a JBL Flex speaker that can be removed from the truck and used as a portable speaker on the go. Get updates on this redesigned Orlando Toyota truck This is what we know so far... and we can't wait for May 19th to arrive.

Toyota Highlander Hybrid

The Million Mile Toyota Highlander Hybrid

You've heard of the Million Mile Tundra... but have you heard about the Million Mile Tundra? This 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid belonged to Mark Miller of Bonita Springs, Florida and last year, it celebrated its million-mile mark. Our Orlando Toyota dealership is here with the details! How did this Toyota Hybrid make it to a million miles? Mark Miller used his 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid primarily for work, driving across Alligator Alley (a stretch of I-75 in the Florida Everglades) routinely enough to rack up over a million miles. He described his SUV as a "workhorse" - he used it to tow trailers for his asphalt paving business, as well as a mobile office for work on the go. According to Miller, he's taken around 8,000 trips across I-75 in his Toyota. His secret to getting it to a million miles? Routine maintenance and a reliable mechanic - and routine oil changes. No joke. The million-mile Toyota Highlander would have probably kept right on going, but fate intervened in the form of Hurricane Ian. In 2022, Hurricane Ian roared onshore in South Florida, leaving a wake of destruction. Miller's home in Bonita Springs was the victim of a massive amount of storm surge, and his Toyota Highlander was destroyed in the flood. But here's the good news - Toyota stepped in. Miller had plans to get another Toyota Highlander Hybrid as he missed his old car and its comfortable reliability. Toyota took it upon themselves to thank him for his loyalty and gifted Miller a new 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition so he could get back on the road. The 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Bronze Edition We're not surprised Miller was so thrilled by his new Toyota - after all, the 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid is a fan favorite. Here are some of the features we love about it: 35 mpg fuel efficiency A height-adjustable hands-free power liftgate LED headlights, taillights, and Daytime Running Lights 18-in. bronze-finish alloy wheels SofTex-trimmed seating for seven with second-row captain's chairs Qi wireless charging for devices Three-zone automatic climate control Connected services including Remote Connect, Service Connect, Drive Connect, Safety Connect, and Wi-Fi Connect Toyota Safety Sense 2.5 A backup camera with a projected path A Blind-Spot Monitor with Rear Cross-Traffic Alert Drive Mode Select with Sport, Eco, Normal, and EV modes Not to mention a unique appearance. Miller's 2023 Toyota Highlander Hybrid comes in a Cement paint color (fitting for someone who owns an asphalt business) and has unique bronze wheels and accents that make it stand out on the road. Get your hands on your own million mile Toyota today No matter which new Toyota you decide upon, you know you can rely on it if the million-mile Tundra and Highlander are any indications of longevity. (And that's why we're always pushing you to get routine auto service like oil changes, too.) Think you're ready to take the plunge? Call Toyota of Orlando today. We're open seven days a week at (407) 298-4500 and we're conveniently located just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall at 3575 Vineland Road.

Toyota full electric vehicles

Toyota electric vehicle news: March 2023

If you've been paying attention at all, you know by now that an all-new Toyota full electric vehicle is finally up for grabs at a dealership near you: the 2023 Toyota bZ4X. However, our Orlando Toyota dealership has even more news to share in the world of Toyota electric vehicles - here's what's been going on in this sphere as of late. What's new in the world of Toyota electric vehicles? Toyota and Lexus are developing an all-new EV-only platform. It's officially been announced that Toyota and Lexus are back at work creating an all-new platform... but this one will be solely for Toyota electric vehicles. As of right now, Toyota EVs sit on the e-TNGA platform, which is a slightly modified version of the acclaimed and existing TNGA platform. However, with this particular platform, Toyota is having a hard time matching or exceeding the efficiency of cars like Tesla. The platform also limits the size of the battery pack, which means a shorter range. A new platform means an extended range and the ability to create new prototypes of cars. It looks like this new platform will be officially in production by 2026, so we'll keep you updated. Toyota is rethinking its long-term EV strategy. In other Toyota news, Akio Toyoda - the CEO of Toyota - stepped down from his post in January. His replacement, Koji Sato, is a big fan of EVs and is making the push for Toyota to integrate more of them into their normal lineup. Supposedly, Toyota recently disassembled a Tesla Y model to get a better idea of the types of manufacturing techniques that the EV giant is using inside of their vehicles. (It's a pretty common practice among automakers.) What they found may affect their design of the aforementioned new platform for Toyota full electric vehicles, and could lead to many more EV additions to the lineup. A new bZ3 has been introduced in China. We've talked before about different bZ models and how Toyota's ultimate goal is to create a bZ - Beyond Zero - umbrella with a variety of Toyota full electric vehicles under it. All we have in the US right now is the 2023 Toyota bZ4X and a new bZ SUV concept that was recently unveiled. In China, however, a new bZ3 model was recently introduced to the market. The sedan is a collaboration between Toyota and BYD (a global EV company) and it's the second official model in the bZ lineup. The bZ3 EV is built on the e-TNGA platform but uses a lithium-ion battery, motor, and electric control system all designed and manufactured by BYD, which means a range of around 372 miles. This Toyota electric vehicle has a starting MSRP of around $27,700 USD. We don't know that we'll see it at Toyota of Orlando anytime soon, but we do know the bZ lineup will continue to expand and provide our customers with more Toyota full electric vehicle options. Toyota of Orlando has all the EV info you need Have questions about Toyota electric vehicles or want to see the 2023 Toyota bZ4X yourself? Call us today - Toyota of Orlando is open seven days a week at (407) 298-4500. You can also stop by and see us at 3575 Vineland Road, just off I-4 near the Millenia Mall.

Toyota and Nintendo collab on a new 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander

Toyota and Nintendo collab on a new 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander

Big news in the world of Toyota - and also in the world of gamers, we guess. Toyota and Nintendo recently hooked up to collaborate on an all-new special concept version of the upcoming 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander and Toyota of Orlando has the details. Here's what you can expect! What's with this new Toyota/Nintendo collaboration? When you think of the 2024 Toyota Highlander, you probably think of a spacious, road-trip-ready Toyota. (And you're right.) And what goes better with a road trip than a Nintendo Switch? This versatile gaming system is perfect for gaming on the go, which is what inspired Toyota and Nintendo to pair up for this latest concept car. This new Toyota concept was revealed at the Chicago Auto Show in early February and features a Mario Kart/Nintendo wrap on the exterior as well as a huge screen, a gaming console, and more speakers for the ultimate gaming experience. While we won't see the actual concept car on our lot at Toyota of Orlando anytime soon (if ever), Toyota IS giving away a Nintendo prize pack to 500 Grand Highlander customers when this new Toyota SUV hits dealerships in 2023 or 2024. Here's the scoop: 500 lucky winners will receive a Nintendo Switch OLED Model System with a vibrant 7" screen for better gaming and detachable joy-con controllers so players can game anywhere They'll also receive a Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game, a paid Nintendo Switch online membership, and an expansion pack membership So not only will they be able to take home this incredible all-new Toyota Grand Highlander, but also a great way to keep the kids (or adults) occupied in the backseat. The 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander is coming to Toyota of Orlando So, what will the non-Nintendo version of the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander have to offer when it arrives at our dealership later this year or early next year? Here's what you can expect from this new Orlando Toyota: A much larger interior - the third row will be large enough to seat three adults comfortably, and there will still be a spacious cargo area behind it. Overall, you can seat 8 adults without issue in the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander. Three engine options - a 2.4L turbocharged four-cylinder, a 2.5L hybrid that gets 34 mpg combined, and a hybrid MAX powertrain that gets 362 horsepower. Incredible technology including a standard 12.3-inch Toyota Audio Multimedia system, Connected Service Drive Connect with Intelligent Assistant, Cloud Navigation and Destination Assist, dual Bluetooth phone connectivity, and standard wireless Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto. Additionally, you'll get features like Wi-Fi Connect, HD Radio, SiriusXM® Platinum, a JBL® Premium Audio system with 11 speakers, seven USB-C ports, and Remote Connect. You can rest easy with safety features like Safety Connect, Service Connect, Blind Spot Monitor with Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Front and Rear Parking Assist with Automatic Braking. And it LOOKS amazing. The 2023 Toyota Highlander is already sleek and stylish, but the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander manages to go bigger without losing any of that. It has a sleek interior decked out with SofTex, Leather-trimmed, or Ultrasuede and leather seats with premium stitching and an exterior that's sporty and modern. We don't know when we'll get the 2024 Toyota Grand Highlander officially, but we can keep you posted. Follow us on social media for updates and for more info!

all-wheel drive cars

2023 Toyota Corolla Cross & Toyota Corolla Hybrid named Most Affordable New Cars with All-Wheel Drive

If you're looking for a new car that has all-wheel drive but you also feel unsure as to whether or not you can afford one, our Orlando Toyota dealership has good news - the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross and Toyota Corolla Hybrid have both officially made Autotrader's list of the most affordable new cars with all-wheel drive. They took spots #8 and #9, respectively, and we're here to tell you why these new Toyotas should be your top picks when you're looking for an affordable new car with all-wheel drive. Why did these Orlando Toyotas make the list? AutoTrader lists are notorious for their helpfulness in wading through an endless sea of makes and models. Sometimes your new car choices can be overwhelming, and these lists can help you narrow things down based on the characteristics you want your car to have. This particular list details the most affordable new cars on the market that also offer you the all-wheel drive feature - all cars on the list are under $25,000, making them extremely viable options for drivers on a budget. As noted, the 2023 Toyota Corolla Cross and Toyota Corolla Hybrid are both on the list. Both of these sporty new Toyotas are at Toyota of Orlando if you want to test them out, and here are a few things to keep in mind when you do: The Orlando Toyota Corolla is one of the most popular sedans out there. It's efficient, super affordable, and stylish with incredible tech features woven into the cabin. Additionally, it's now available in multiple hybrid models that get 47/41 mpg. Plus, more than 80% of all Toyota Corolla models sold in the past 20 years are still out on the roads. The Toyota Corolla Cross, on the other hand, is a sporty crossover that's larger than its sedan sibling but still offers amazing fuel efficiency (31/33) and affordability. It comes in three grades and offers seating for five plus a spacious rear cargo area for gear. It's new to the lineup, but has quickly claimed a spot as one of the fan favorites. What is all-wheel drive and why does it matter? Now let's talk more about all-wheel drive. If you're still not totally clear about what this feature is (but still think you might need it on your next Orlando Toyota), here's a quick explanation: all-wheel drive is when your vehicle has the ability to send torque to all four wheels simultaneously, making all of them spin at once. It's different than your typical front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive vehicle where only two wheels are powering the car at once. All-wheel drive is a great safety feature to have on your vehicle because by letting all four wheels spin, you're gaining better traction. And better traction means your car will grip the road better when it's slippery, like in snow, rain, or ice. This reduces your chances of getting into an accident in bad weather conditions and thus, keeps you and your passengers safer. Here are a few other Orlando Toyotas with all-wheel drive to consider if the Toyota Corolla or Corolla Cross won't work for you: Toyota Highlander Toyota Sienna Toyota RAV4 Toyota Prius Toyota Camry Have more questions about all-wheel drive and what it can do for your drive time, or looking for a new Toyota with this great feature?

new Toyotas at SEMA 2022

The highlights of SEMA 2022

Here at Toyota of Orlando, we always get excited about the SEMA (Specialty Equipment Market Association) show. It takes place in Las Vegas at the convention center every year and allows automotive manufacturers to showcase not only exciting up-and-coming models but also concepts that they have tucked in their back pockets for possible production later. Every single year brings something new, and car enthusiasts get hyped about the possibilities. 2022 was no exception - see what Toyota rolled out for SEMA this year below! Before we get into the individual new Toyota models and concepts, here are some highlights from the show: Toyota announced the world debut of an all-new model on their trucks and SUVs - Trailhunter. This special new grade will be outfitted with overlanding components, reinforcements, and functionality, all from the Toyota factory. Toyota also announced its Associated Accessory Program (AAP), which is a new program designed to give customers a more seamless way to accessorize their Toyotas. AAP will offer parts, components, and accessories not only from Toyota but also from its trusted partners to ensure there's a large selection of options. Even better, customers will be able to roll the cost of the accessories into the overall payment plan for the vehicle. Now let's talk about the new Toyotas featured at the show. Here's the rundown of the 13 special builds that were introduced: The GR Corolla Rally Concept: This Toyota Motorsports Garage concept is a sports car designed for a rally race - it's a six-speed manual turbocharged hot hatch with all-wheel drive and a sporty new exterior that also offers functionality via rally car body work. The GR86 Daily Drifter: If you want a daily driver that can also hit the track, this new Toyota is your dream come true. It was designed to offer the best of both worlds and bring a race vehicle within reach of the average motorsports enthusiast (aka not break the bank). With a supercharger, cat-back performance exhaust, a StopTech Big Brake kit, and a roll cage, it does just that. The 10-Second Twins: This pair of GR Supra sports cars were designed to hit a quarter-mile in ten seconds... and they do, thanks to a Pure Turbo single turbo and two CSF high-performance intercoolers. Those features combined with a few other tweaks resulted in 620 horsepower and 590 lb-ft torque. The 2023 Simba Sequoia and Orion Tundra by X Overland: I f you've never seen the TV series Expedition Overland, watch it. Rachelle and Clay Croft - who established the company in 2010 - designed two special new Toyotas that are perfect for overlanding. The Simba Sequoia boasts a compression damping electronic valve suspension system, as well as a 12,000 lb winch, a custom rear steel bumper with dual swing outs, rock climbers, skid plates, and Rigid rock lights. The Orion Tundra showcases upgraded front and rear shocks, MaxTrax recovery boards, a heavy-duty winch, Rigid rock lights/fog lights/light kits, skid plates, side steps, and rock sliders.

The GR86 Cup Car features track-inspired engineering and elements like Bosch engine management, a custom Borla exhaust, a SADEV 6-speed sequential transmission, adjustable JRI shocks, a roll cage, and Stratasys custom bodywork. The GR Corolla Official NASA Pace Car is turbocharged, all-wheel drive, and sports red, white, and black graphics inspired by Toyota motorsports and endurance racing. The FJ49, Megatourer, and Supertourer (aka the Black Truck): Patriot Campers did three separate builds for SEMA 2022, and designed them to be suitable for off-roading and overlanding in Australia. The FJ49 is a 1977 FJ45 with modern tech and components like custom coil spring suspension, custom flares/bars/tow bar, a Warn winch, LED driving lights and light bars, and an exo cage. The interior was kept retro to match the vibe. The Supertourer is a Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series GLX that's had its frame extended 11.8".

Considering making your next new Toyota an electric car? The 2023 Toyota bz4X is headed to a dealership near you this fall, and we can't wait for it to arrive at Toyota of Orlando. However, it's not the only electric car on the market so it's critical that you do your research and decide which one will be the best fit for your needs. Today our Orlando Toyota dealership is comparing one of the Toyota bz4X's closest competitors: the 2023 Subaru Solterra. How does the 2023 Toyota bz4X stack up against the 2023 Subaru Solterra? Let's talk about performance first, as that's usually one of the most significant items on the list for drivers who want to take home an electric car. The Toyota bz4X outranks the Subaru Solterra in one of the most critical aspects of an EV - range. It gets 252 miles out of one charge, while the Solterra falls short at just 222 miles on one charge. Here are some other details in regards to their performance: The Toyota bz4X comes in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive. The Subaru Solterra comes in all-wheel drive. The Toyota bz4X gets 131 city and 107 highway MPGe. The Subaru Solterra gets 93 city and 111 highway MPGe. This new Orlando Toyota offers better handling thanks to a lower 50 series profile with a stiffer sidewall than the Subaru's 60 series tires. This 2023 Toyota also pulls ahead in terms of interior space. It offers more cargo room, a wider cabin, and is taller. Both cars offer a fully electric system under the hood, which means they're zero emissions and use no gasoline whatsoever. Instead, they both have to be plugged into special charging stations to be able to charge up and hit the road. Now let's talk about features. You know that all of the cars at Toyota of Orlando go above and beyond in terms of safety and connectivity, but here's how our Toyota electric car stacks up against Subaru's. Believe it or not, the 2023 Toyota bz4X and Subaru Solterra pretty much break even when it comes to safety features and technology. They both include key features like advanced airbag systems, blind spot monitors with rear cross-traffic alert, lane departure alert, daytime running lights, backup cameras, and automatic braking. They also include similar convenience and entertainment features. However, this new 2023 Toyota includes wireless charging as a standard feature (Subaru adds an upcharge for it) as well as rain-sensing wipers, a feature not found on the Subaru Solterra. Additionally, the 2023 Toyota bz4X has a hands-free liftgate, which isn't offered on the Solterra. What about reliability, value, and warranties? Here are some points to consider: Toyota offers no-cost scheduled maintenance on the 2023 Toyota bz4X for 2 years or 25,000 miles, whichever comes first. Subaru doesn't offer no-cost scheduled maintenance. There are also nearly twice as many Toyota dealerships in the U.S., making it easier to find a service location. J.D. Power and Associates 2022 Initial Quality Study provided data that Toyota vehicles are higher quality than Subaru vehicles - they're rated above average, while Subaru cars are ranked below average. This is also the case in terms of long-term dependability. Toyota is also ranked second in reliability by Consumer Reports, while Subaru is in eighth place.

2023 Toyota Models: Redesigns, Special Edition Models, And More!

Toyota has been up to some interesting and exciting moves for future Toyota models, and today here at Toyota of Orlando, we're giving you the rundown on what's coming for each Toyota model in 2023. So whether you're looking to trade in your current car for a brand new one, or maybe you want to know the exciting news coming to the Toyota world this year. Let's dive into it! What’s coming for each Toyota model in 2023 Corolla Cross The Corolla Cross debuted in 2022 and received a lot of praise. Well, that's because the Subcompact SUV is the perfect mesh between the spaciousness you get from an SUV and the sporty affordability the Corolla gives its drivers. It gets even better for 2023 models with a new fifth-generation hybrid system that includes All-Wheel-Drive. Corolla There’s a lot of attention being given to the Corolla this 2023 model year, with the Corolla family receiving upgrades on many levels. Here are some of the new features to be expected in 2023 models: Updated exterior styling front and rear with the new Toyota Audio Multimedia systems in the sedans and hatchbacks. More level trims LE AWD, SE, SE AWD, and XLE. The Corolla receives an electric on-demand all-wheel drive system. GR Corolla The GR Corolla gives Toyota fans the performance in this version of the Corolla Hatchback. The Toyota president Akio Toyoda even created his own model of the GR Corolla called the MORIZO Edition. Along with additional  Core and Circuit Edition models. GR 86 The Toyota GR86 comes in hot with a new rear-drive GR86 sports coupe and adds a new limited-production Special Edition model for 2023. The Special Edition is painted in an exclusive Solar Shift orange exterior color. Here are some other features you can look forward to: Cat-back GR performance exhaust system with black-chrome tips adds an exhausted note. Black-finish GR 18-inch wheels wear Michelin Pilot Sport 4 tires. Special black C-pillar decal and a black rear spoiler. 4Runner The Toyota 4Runner isn’t getting a redesign for the 2023 model year. Still, it is getting a fortieth anniversary Special Edition Model on the SR5 Premium 4WD model with bold retro accents and bronze-finished elements. Exclusive features include: Bronze-finished 17-inch alloy wheels. Body-color “heritage” grille. Bronze-colored 40th Anniversary liftgate badge. Retro race-inspired with yellow, orange, and red exterior. BZ4X THE BZ4X is the first all-electric compact SUV on the Toyota lineup in 2023. However, we expect it to be tweaked before entering the dealership lots this year in Orlando, FL. Camry The Toyota Camry joins the Nightshade family with an appearance package for the 2023 model year. In addition, they get an upgrade by getting 19-inch bronze-finished wheels with black-trimmed headlights and taillights. Highlander The Toyota Highlander is getting an upgrade with a 265-horsepower 2.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder engine in the models separate from the hybrid models. The torque receives an upgrade from 263 lb-ft to 309 lb-ft. The interiors add a dual 12.3-inch display screen for the Limited and Platinum models and a relocated wireless charging pad. RAV4 The RAV4 Hybrid in Orlando, FL, is receiving a unique off-roading Woodland Edition model for 2023. It has everything you need in an adventurous ride with features including: TRD off-road-tuned suspension. Falken-brand all-terrain tires. Flow-formed bronze-colored wheels. Mudguards. Black badging. Roof-rack cross bars. With unique Woodland Edition all-weather floor and cargo mats. Sequoia We are super excited about the Toyota Sequoia redesign that's getting so many high-tech features and upgrades. It received its first redesign in 2008, so it's groundbreaking to get its first redesign in over a decade. We are in pleasant anticipation of this model hitting our dealership this year. Sienna It’s the 25th Anniversary of the Toyota Sienna. In its honor, Toyota came out with a 2023 special anniversary edition with a sporty XSE trim and upgrades modeling the Limited model with exclusive interior and exterior additions. Ironically, 2525 limited edition models will be coming to dealerships for this model year and Toyota of Orlando may be one of them. Supra The Orlando Toyota Supras are getting a manual transmission for the 2023 model year and an upgrade in performance with an option on the 3.0 6-cylinder models, while the 2.0 4-cylinder models will be available only in an 8-speed automatic. Tacoma The Toyota Tacoma oozes everything you want in a truck. There’s anticipation surrounding when the Tacoma will get a redesign because, let’s be honest, as much as everyone loves the Tacoma, even nice things deserve an upgrade. Unfortunately, folks will have to wait because the redesign will not be happening for 2023 models. However, the models for 2023 add SX and Chrome appearance packages for the entry-level SR5 trim level. The SX Package: Blackout trim A unique bed graphic. The Chrome Package: Chrome-finished 18-inch wheels, Chrome door handles, Chrome TACOMA lettering on the tailgate. Tundra The Tundra got a complete upgrade in 2022. So, it only makes sense that the redesign would leave a lasting effect, even until 2023. However, the SR5 models are available now with an optional SX Package appearance group with features including blacked-out trim and 18-inch wheels finished in dark metallic gray. Venza The Orlando Toyota Venza is coming up with a new nightshade edition appearance package with blackout trim this 2023 model year. Looking for a brand new 2023 Car? Visit Toyota of Orlando.
